There is some truth to that IMO. Some of the white women that I have spoken to who have dated both white and black men, have often stated that once the white men found out, they immediately asked about "the sex." Questions were raised about size, and/or how frequently they engaged in sex if they did at any time date them. My guess is that some are both frightened, intimidated and just down right scared of what may have went on down there LOL!

This doesn't just begin and end with white men though...I have heard Hispanic, Indian, Asian, and Arab men who have chastised their women for either dating or finding a black man attractive. The first thing that these men want want to know is whether these women had a thing for "big ones" and more often than not, they would automatically label them as "sluts" for having such an attraction believing that the attraction had to be about sex.

On the other side, a lot of black men really don't care to dispel the idea that a woman can only be attracted to them aside for sexual purposes. Many of them feel that this is the only way to really attract women of other races.

My criteria for who I dated included that they absolutely could not be racist. I thank my kids for helping me filter out racist jerks. GOOD JOB, KIDS!
Unfortunately, changing friends is not going to change the mindset of the majority. Years ago, I worked with two black men who asked me for a ride home. The looks of contempt and disgust I saw on the faces of some people in the other cars was enough to convince me that even if I had an attraction to AAs, which I didn't, I did not have the courage or thick skin to encounter that attitude on a regular basis. Though I was only giving them a ride home, it was obvious they thought I was "with" them. I don't think the world has changed all that much. There is a stigma associated with interracial relationships that is still prevalent but not discussed much, since it is politically incorrect to do so these days.

Yea you saw 10 single mothers and that speaks for millions of light skinned american ladies. Maybe do a better research in the American culture and especially go driving cross country. and of course you haven't seen the phenomenon in china, how many dark skinned or african people do you have over in china?? it's mostly chinese people not much diversity

It is up to us to change OURSELVES - we can't change other people.

By that I mean, live as we believe - not as others believe we should.

LIVE BRAVELY. LIVE YOUR CONVICTIONS. LIVE WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE RIGHT and don't be afraid of what others may think or how they will react.

Why? You are a woman with four grown children, the content of the discussion should not offend you.

Yes, by all means close this thread. After all, a controversial subject shouldn't be discussed under the politics and controversies thread (sarcasm). I haven't seen one post that was disrespectful or attacking. Probably could do without the anatomy references, however.
